The wind blows where it wants to. You hear the sound it makes. But you can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born with the Spirit.”

风随着意思吹，你听见风的响声，却不晓得从哪里来，往哪里去；凡从圣灵生的，也是如此。”

夫風任意而吹、爾聞其聲、不知其何來何往、凡由聖神生者、亦若是、

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.”

The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Anyone who keeps on watching the wind won’t plant seeds. Anyone who keeps looking at the clouds won’t gather crops.You don’t know the path the wind takes. You don’t know how a baby is made inside its mother. So you can’t understand how God works either. He made everything.

Who can know the thoughts of another person? Only a person’s own spirit can know them. In the same way, only the Spirit of God knows God’s thoughts.

Suddenly a sound came from heaven. It was like a strong wind blowing. It filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Then the Lord said to me,“ Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell it,‘ The Lord and King says,“ Breath, come from all four directions. Go into these people who have been killed. Then they can live.” ’ ”

To be a child of God has nothing to do with human parents. Children of God are not born because of human choice or because a husband wants them to be born. They are born because of what God does.

Jesus also said,“ Here is what God’s kingdom is like. A farmer scatters seed on the ground.Night and day the seed comes up and grows. It happens whether the farmer sleeps or gets up. He doesn’t know how it happens.All by itself the soil produces grain. First the stalk comes up. Then the head appears. Finally, the full grain appears in the head.Before long the grain ripens. So the farmer cuts it down, because the harvest is ready.”

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. They were bold when they spoke God’s word.

Do you know how the clouds stay up in the sky? Do you understand the wonders of the God who has perfect knowledge?Even your clothes are too hot for you when the land lies quiet under the south wind.

“ The heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.The rain and the snow come down from the sky. They do not return to it without watering the earth. They make plants come up and grow. The plants produce seeds for farmers. They also produce food for people to eat.The words I speak are like that. They will not return to me without producing results. They will accomplish what I want them to. They will do exactly what I sent them to do.“ My people, you will go out of Babylon with joy. You will be led out of it in peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song as you go. And all the trees in the fields will clap their hands.Juniper trees will grow where there used to be bushes that had thorns on them. And myrtle trees will grow where there used to be thorns. That will bring me great fame. It will be a lasting reminder of what I can do. It will stand forever.”

The breath of God produces ice. The shallow water freezes over.He loads the clouds with moisture. He scatters his lightning through them.He directs the clouds to circle above the surface of the whole earth. They do everything he commands them to do.He tells the clouds to punish people. Or he brings them to water his earth and show his love.

You know that God is right and always does what is right. And you know that everyone who does what is right is God’s child.

All the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. He gives gifts to each person, just as he decides.

He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.

He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.

No one can look at the sun. It’s too bright after the wind has swept the skies clean.Out of the north, God comes in his shining glory. He comes in all his wonderful majesty.We can’t reach up to the Mighty One. He is lifted high because of his power. Everything he does is fair and right. So he doesn’t crush people.

“ A good tree doesn’t bear bad fruit. And a bad tree doesn’t bear good fruit.You can tell each tree by the kind of fruit it bears. People do not pick figs from thorns. And they don’t pick grapes from bushes.
